MMP‐9 gene rs3918242 polymorphism increases risk of stroke: A meta‐analysis

Abstract: The association between matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) gene rs3918242 polymorphism and the risk of stroke has been investigated, but the findings have been found to be contradictory. Thus, this association was assessed by meta-analysis. Potential studies were searched throughout PubMed, Embase, and CNKI. Pooled odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were calculated. Sixteen original studies analyzing this association were included, involving 3647 stroke patients and 3685 unrelated controls. It was confir… Show more

“…Contrary, another metaanalysis suggested that MMP-9 (-1562C/T) polymorphisms might be a risk factor for ischemic stroke [36]. Also, several recent studies have reported the significant association between MMP-9 and cerebral ischemic stroke [15,37,38]. Gao et al [37] showed that the rs3787268 locus in the MMP-9 gene might increase the risk of ischemic stroke in a southern Chinese Han population.…”

“…The work is also limited by relatively low patient number and potentially biased by the absence of a matched nondiabetic cohort to investigate whether this relationship applies only in the context of diabetes. Furthermore, while the minor T allele of rs3918242 is associated with coronary artery and cerebrovascular diseases in large clinical studies and a recent meta-analysis, [20,27,28] it has not emerged in GWAS of vascular diseases to date. However, in order to reduce the likelihood of false positive results due to multiple testing, current GWAS require p-values in the order of 10 -8 and consequently identify only a minority of gene variants associated with disease risk.…”

“…Epidemiological analysis shows genetic factors play a crucial role in IS susceptibility ( 2 , 6 ), accounting for 50% ( 10 ). Therefore, there is an urgent need to study the genetic variants associated with the occurrence of IS ( 11 ).…”
